About this venue

Martha's Bed & Breakfast is a restored 1909 Mission-style home in a quiet Lincoln neighborhood, and it was made for the kind of wedding where you actually know everyone in the room. We host intimate celebrations of 50 to 80 guests, so your day never feels like it is happening in a rented hall. Say your vows on the landscaped grounds or the wide front porch, then move inside to the dining room, the den, and the living room with its baby grand piano. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places, so your photos come with period details that no decorator could recreate. Nine bedrooms mean your wedding party and your out-of-town guests can stay right here, and nobody has to drive home at the end of the night. Every wedding is planned with Experience Happiness, our exclusive coordinator, so you get a professional in your corner from the first walkthrough to the last dance.

Our event spaces

Living Room

The kind of room where a small gathering feels like an occasion, with a marble fireplace, a baby grand piano, and light from every window.

The living room seats up to 25 guests among period furnishings, cream wall paneling, and a marble fireplace. Play the baby grand, pour drinks by the window, and let the afternoon light do the decorating. Our staff will help you shape the details around your vision. Pricing starts at $400 for a 4 hour slot, and each extra hour is $50. You also get an hour to set up and an hour to clean up, for 6 hours total. Bring your own food and drink, or plan it with us.

Enclosed Patio

Three walls of leaded glass and all the natural light you could want, sized for a gathering of ten where everyone can hear everyone.

The enclosed patio wraps you in leaded windows on three sides, so the room fills with light through the whole afternoon. It fits up to 10 guests, which makes it right for a shower, a rehearsal lunch, a small business meeting, or any gathering where you want one conversation instead of five. We handle the setup and the cleanup for you.

Rent the entire first floor and your guests can move freely from the front porch to the living room with its baby grand piano, into the den, the dining room, and the enclosed patio. This is the layout for a full reception, and it works whether you want one big room or several smaller spaces where people can spread out and talk. Pricing starts at $600 for a 4 hour slot, and each extra hour is $75. You also get an hour to set up and an hour to clean up, for 6 hours total.
